Hi Brian, thank you for your help. So here goes: #Details: Ubuntu Lucid 32Bit telepathy-butterfly at version 0.5.8-1ubuntu1 empathy at version 2.30.1-0ubuntu1 Proxy configured through System->Preferences->network Proxy
The university uses a non-transparent proxy server, and a cisco vpn service for W-LAN access (as do most universities in Germany). When I filed the bug I was on a LAN connection and therefore not using a vpn client. Since Im not back at the university till monday I retested this from home, which means I had to use vpnc to connect through the university proxy. #Description: With Pidgin I am able to connect to my msn accout, but only if I check "Use HTTP Method" under advanced settings. Otherwise I get the message "Access denied: HTTP proxy server forbids port 1863 tunneling". (Of the other protocols I use, Icq works, gtalk and facebook chat do not) With Empathy msn will not connect. It also doesnt give a network error, if I check under "Accounts" it just says "Connecting..." for ever. (Icq, gtalk and facebook chat all work. I'm assuming facebook ang gtalk work because telepathy-gabble is used instead of libpurple/telepathy-haze).
